The Men Who Stare At Goats



General Brown: 

So they started doing psy-research because they thought we were doing psy-research, when in fact we weren't doing psy-research?

Brigadier General Dean Hopgood: 

Yes sir. But now that they are doing psy-research, we're gonna have to do psy-research, sir.

[leans forward]

Brigadier General Dean Hopgood: 

We can't afford to have the Russian's leading the field in the paranormal.

LYN CASSADY (George Clooney):
Have you heard of Optimum Trajectory before? 
(No answer) 
Your life is like a river, Bob. If you’re aiming for a goal that isn’t your destiny, you will always be swimming against the current.

Then and there?


No. About eighteen years later. That's the thing about Dim Mak... you never know when it's gonna take effect.
